If so, you might want to check out circumnavigating the Chesapeake Bay, like this group of cyclists did recently. The trip, as outlined in this pilotonline.com article, took them to 13 lighthouses, four ferry boats, across two bridges that didn’t allow cyclists, on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and in many a small town. Crab cakes were a common fuel (yum!).

The group made a “clockwise circle around the bay, traveling west and north initially, through Surry and Jamestown and Gloucester, before reaching Maryland. They crossed the Bay Bridge and headed south down the Eastern Shore, stopping at their lone hotel in St. Michaels before camping on the beaches of Assateague and Chincoteague. They ended the trek at Cape Henry and the Fort Story Lighthouse in Virginia Beach.

A step free path way would open up the path way to the elderly, disabled and to prams giving access to one of Sydney’s most spectacular coastal walks but many are already questioning whether any more concrete should be laid on the walkway and whether the natural beauty of the walk is in danger of being destroyed by making it, as one local described it, a ‘human motorway.’”

This was not your typical beach vacation. But when dozens of beached whales are seemingly calling for your help, how can you not help? As one tourist, said:

We’ve just been digging them up out of the sand and wetting them down. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve only ever seen it on TV. It’s been going really well though. I’m not leaving until I see them swim away.”
